Mountaintop Surprise!!!

Hi everybody, I've been exploring some more in Idaho.  I went up a mountain called "Scotchman's Peak" and I found a surprise at the top :-)

A view of lake Pend Oreille on the way up.
A stack of stones to mark the trail
Almost there...
There's the top!  (And some snow!)
Oh, hello goats!
Happy goats :-)  They were very calm and nice to me.

I made it to the top!!!!

The goats are very friendly and almost always visit with anybody who hikes to the top of Scotman's Peak :-)  I also wanted to share a little video I am in, I felt like dancing :-)

Mountain Day!

Hello!!!!  Today I went hiking on a mountain called Schweitzer that looks down on Sandpoint, Idaho.  From the top you can see Lake Pend Oreille.  It's a huge lake surrounding the town that was created during the ice ages by the lake Missoula floods -- it's called "Pend Oreille" because it's shaped like a big ear :-) Here I am jumping over the ski resort building and the lake!


On the trail I found some deer tracks!!! I didn't see the deer who made them, though, but he must have come just before me.


And I found some beautiful flowers called "Indian Paintbrush."


And last but not least, I found some huckleberries!!! Huckleberries are like mountain blueberries, they are a little smaller and they have a slightly different but extremely yummy taste!

Mountains!!!!!

Hi everybody! Today I took a trip just over the Idaho border to western Montana! I floated down a river in the bright sunshine and saw mountains and fishermen and trees!


The water was so clear and clean in the river I could sometimes see fish swimming right below me.


It was great!  I definitely recommend making a trip to Idaho and Montana!!!  More coming soon!

Back in the USA!

Hi Everybody!!!  I'm in the little town of Sandpoint, Idaho!  So far and I've explored town a little bit, and I went hiking!  There were great views from the lookout point!

A view of town, there's a big lake here called "Pend Oreille" because it's shaped like an ear.
